About our bath repair in Barrow
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What we are called out for in Barrow
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business

What affects the price in Barrow
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Most clients in Barrow get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
